Wells offers several semester-long study abroad programs with affiliate universities:
Affiliated Programs
University of Tasmania in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, offers curriculum focused on developing multidisciplinary knowledge and skills, as well as global perspective and social responsibility. UTAS has particular strengths in zoology, geography and environmental studies, and marine and Antarctic science.
Galen University in San Ignacio, Belize, has particular strengths in archaeology, anthropology, and sustainable development, but offers a wide range of courses including business and tourism. A semester in Belize offers students the opportunity to live in a nation rich in cultural diversity in a semi-tropical and coastal environment.

Course offerings in English include business, education, environmental studies, Latin American studies, law, and history.
